Early community images for H3, H6 and A64

My Monitor does not have speakers, but connected via hdmi to my AVR i do not have sound or picture.

Check if you have digital HDMI output selected in settings. It should be by default, but you never know. If you still have issues provide output of edid-decode /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid with AVR plugged in.

Is it possible to have an image of Librelec for the OrangePi Lite2 (H6, 1GB ram) ? I use a USB dongle for ethernet so, I don't need wifi driver. My USB ethernet dongle work fine with the last WIP image of Armbian (kernel 5.0.6).

I don't know if it's possible, but if I don't ask I will never know...

Hi guys! Has anyone already installed the image on Orange pi 3? Interested several moments. Is work audio on hdmi? What screen resolution is supported? Is there mali support? Has anyone transferred the image to eMMC ? Thx

Stumbled here and have a pine64a collecting dust and got exited to try! Its the pine64 2gb model and I get no network connection. Therefore I also cannot update over samba/ssh to get Ethernet working.. Steps:

- Flashed LibreELEC-A64.arm-9.1-devel-20190324123655-b764cb6-pine64.img with Etcher on 32G card- boots fine, seems to work but Ethernet does not work (not video tested)- Tried to update manually by copying "target" folder containing kernel etc. from LibreELEC-A64.arm-9.1-devel-20190324161240-b764cb6

still boots fine but no Ethernet (cabled)

The LibreElec first boot wizard shows no networks available and in Settings->LibreElec->Network->Wired Networks i cannot activate. Screen flashes and returns to off position...

Hope its a simple issue, didnt read it in this topic before

edit: also my other pine64's running armbian, using a usb wifi.. Also doesnt work or respond to the OS.

edit2: Im also running pi-hole on the network, never had any issues... Maybe a DHCP issue or similar? idk

just do a warm reboot (without pulling the plug) and ethernet should work. I didn't find the reason for this issue yet.

currently there is only PineH64 image for H6 which is incompatible with OrangePi 3. You'll have to wait until it gets supported in kernel and U-Boot, but that should be soon (Google Groups). Of course GPU works or Kodi wouldn't run. HDMI audio works up to 8 channel, but no pass through. Currently maximum supported resolution is up to [email protected], but in the future will be [email protected]

currently I'm clueless what's wrong. But note that I'm still working on HDMI driver and it's possible that future improvement will fix the issue. I think I already added some HDMI related fixes after latest image was built.

thank you for your very detailed answer. we will look forward to the development!

I have just tested an image for the H3 (OrangePi Pc+), it is working with sound and video on the same AVR the PineH64 does not. The best, i can run speaker-test up to 8 channels pcm with 192kHz S32_LE! That is awesome, hope these patches will make it to mainline (could not find them on an Armbian Image build yesterday)

Is it possible to have this driver included in one of your builds if it isn't already?

I updated using LAN over samba share.

The SSH login kept asking me to reset the SSH password as "it had expired" it would proceed to change the password, log out I'd log back in for it to repeat credentials had expired, did this 3 times before giving up on SSH login.

wifi driver is actually included, it's just not enabled in DT. Issue here is that board comes without wifi and thus it should not be enabled by default. Addon boards should be handled by DT overlays (something like it's done on RaspberryPi), but nobody took time to implement such mechanism yet.

Bluetooth is low priority so it's not implemented for any board. IIUC, RTL8723BS bluetooth needs some patches which are not in mainline kernel yet, but it's being worked upon. However, even if they would be included, you still have same issue as before with DT overlays.
